After their honeymoon, Twilight and Spike returned home in Ponyville. But as the library was no longer a suitable place for a married couple, they soon built a new house on the edge of the town, not very far from Sweet Apple Acres. Just a humble two-story mansion for the young couple. Also, shortly after, the director of the Ministry of Magic of Equestria: Blade Runner, had offered Twilight a spot in the Magic School of Princess Celestia for gifted unicorns. A spot Twilight rejected, making him know she was willing to found her own magic school in Ponyville. With the support of the princess and Blade Runner, Twilight soon founded her own magic school which she decided to call "Space Odyssey".

That evening, Twilight was in her office. A spacious room with an elegant mahogany desk, two bookshelves behind her, two chairs at the front and a window on the right side where the sunlight entered. In addition to her titles, on the wall she had enlarged photographs of her wedding, her friends and some more. Suddenly someone knocked on her door and her secretary came in.

“Excuse me, director, but you have received a letter from Mrs. Rarity. She wishes to see you at her home. She says it’s very important”

“Didn’t she say about what, Marcy?”

“No, Madame. She only said it was very important”

“I see. Alright, if it’s that important, then I’ll immediately go”

“Don’t forget that at four pm your presence is required for the meeting about the budget for the expansion of the chemistry laboratories”

“Yes, thank you, Marcy” Twilight said, disappearing with a magical sphere.

Instants later, she appeared in front of Rarity’s boutique, which was closed. She surrounded the house to knock the back door that was connected to the house.

“Rarity, I’m Twilight. I received your message” She yelled while knocking the dorr.

“I’m coming now!” She heard Rarity’s voice.

She opened the door and after the appropriate salutations, she invited her to her room where she had prepared a tea with biscuits.

“Tell me, Rarity. Why did you want to see me? Is everything alright?”

Which until then had been a cheerful smile on Rarity’s lips became sour because of Twilight’s question.

“Rarity?” Twilight asked worried when she noticed the change.

“No, Twilight. Not everything is alright… Last night I broke up with my coltfriend” She said very sad.

“Oh Rarity, I’m sorry!... But what happened? You looked so happy together”

Twilight actually said that to be polite with her friend. She thought that was a new record. As far as Twilight knew, Rarity and the guy had been together for only three weeks. In fact, Twilight hadn’t even known him. She knew he was some kind of eccentric collector of carriages, but since some time, Rarity no longer bothered to introduce her mates to the girls, let alone trying to integrate them into their social circle.

“We weren’t made for each other. Or better said: he wasn’t made for me” She said melancholically.

Twilight remained silent. She actually wanted to ignore what the evil tongues said about Rarity, but it was getting more and more difficult to ignore the idea…

“Rarity, I don’t understand you. When we were young, you used to always say you wanted to marry a stallion who was rich, strong, powerful… And may they chain me to the wall if I lie, but you’ve known a lot of stallions like that. Actually… I have no idea what stops you from settling down”

“Am I really that shallow to you?” Rarity asked without any anger, feeling rather sorry for herself.

“… No, of course not. I mean you’ve been with several distinguished and wonderful gentlecolts. Such as that Lieutenant of the Royal Guard a few years ago, or the singer of Ethernal Song, or that stallion from the Trotinheim vineyards who was very cultured and generous. I don’t understand, Rarity. Why have you let them all go? What are you waiting to find?” Twilight explained.

“I… Don’t know, Twilight. I swear I don’t. I’m simply deceiving myself” She answered very anguished with tears in her eyes.

“What do you mean, Rarity?”

“Again and again I venture to look for love in the company of a new lover, but it is useless. I don’t try to find love, but to run away from it, hide from it where it can’t find me”

“What are you talking about, Rarity? I don’t understand you” Twilight said very confused and powerless.

“Is it that hard to understand, Twilight?” Rarity asked.

“It’s not that I like disparaging or playing with the feelings of my suitors. But it’s useless. As much as I try, my love is somewhere else. A forbidden love I can only escape from. It laughs at me. I despised it long ago when I should have accepted it as the blessing it was. If I had known the misery that would expect me when I denied it…!” She cried, full of sorrow.

“Rarity, I have no idea what you’re talking about! Speak clearly” Twilight interrupted her.

“It’s Spike, Twilight” She screamed, shedding tears.

The sorceress fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say and looking at her poor friend with wide eyes.

“Whah… What do you mean, Rarity?”

“Oh, Twilight… I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, but I can’t help it!” Rarity continued her crying and threw her forelegs to Twilight’s neck with intentions to hug her, but the sorceress rejected the gesture.

“Rarity, I told you to speak clearly! What is this all about?!” She demanded.

“Your husband, Twilight! I love your husband! The husband who should have been mine!” She concluded, covering her mouth with both her hooves and looking away.

Twilight was speechless while looking at her friend with in disbelief and astonishment. Astonishment that quickly was contaminated with anger.

“Whah… What the hell is that supposed to mean, rarity?!” She asked.

“Twilight, please. Don’t be angry. Spike is innocent. He isn’t to blame for anything”

“Do you think I don’t know? What I ask you is why you talk about him like he should have been your husband and not mine”

“Oh Twilight… Since I have memory, everypony has always told me that I’m pretty, that I’m smart, that I’m funny… I was always full of compliments and praises. And I always could distinguish the sincere from the sycophants and liars. The shallow and the greedy. Never in my life could I find a sincere lover. Someone who could appreciate me for who I was within myself and not only for my shell, until I knew Spike…”

Rarity levitated a handkerchief near her and dried her tears.

“Every gesture, every favor, every compliment, every task; he did everything with devotion, dedication and sincerity without ever expecting anything in return. Altruism and chivalry at its finest. And all because he loved me. Not in a superficial or materialistic way. He was actually unconditionally in love with me” She said, smiling at the ceiling, clearly remembering that time.

“And I… I… I fell in love with him too. I couldn’t believe it. I’d fallen in love with a boy who was six years younger than me. And a dragon! When could I imagine I would find my true love in a dragon?”

Twilight remained silent without knowing very well what to feel.

“But I… I was afraid. I didn’t have the courage to accept him. I couldn’t give myself to him and take the risk. I pretended it wasn’t true, that it was a love I didn’t really correspond and I ended up cutting its wings, pretending I was doing the right thing. But time passed. The years passed and even though I tried, though many suitors knocked my door, I was never able to forget him”

“Rarity…”

“I saw him grow up, I saw him mature and become a great dragon. But I was afraid… Afraid of how my parents would react, afraid of what a relationship like that could do to my reputation and my career, afraid that it wouldn’t eventually work… And when finally… When I was about to arm myself with courage and fight for him… You took him from me! At the beginning I thought it was the best and it would be easier for me to forget him and even if it wouldn’t be like that, it would be enough for me to know he was happy… But things only got worse!”

Rarity cried afflicted and in silence.

“You don’t know what it’s like to see the one you love in the arms of someone else and be happy. I had to be there and smile, suffering in silence thinking that one could… Should have been me. I should have given Spike his first kiss. I should have given him his first date. I should have taken his first time and his claw in marriage” Rarity looked at twilight with the most miserable eyes she had ever seen.

“Help me, Twilight! I beg you, help me. Tell me you forgive me. Forgive me for lying to you. Forgive me for envying you so much. Forgive me for wishing to possess the heart that was given to you. Forgive me and help me exorcise these demons so that I can continue with my life! Help me be at peace with myself. I beg you!” She begged her, almost kneeling before her.

Twilight looked at Rarity dumbfounded. Shocked. With no idea what she should say. But she did know very well what to feel and that eventually gave her the words.

“Rarity, let me say I’m sorry you have had to suffer in silence for all these years since Spike and I became a couple. I can’t imagine how difficult it had to be for you to let Spike go and see him happy in someone else’s arms. And I appreciate a lot you decided to tell me all this” She whispered very seriously.

“Oh Twilight, thank you. Thank you so much. I promise…”

“But…” Twilight severely interrupted her.

“I can’t believe… You have the nerve to say that you should be Spike’s wife. That you should have taken his first time and his first kiss. Or even say that what you feel or you felt for him is love! Love like he and I have for each other!” She yelled very annoyed.

“When I fell for Spike… It was a very difficult decision to love him. I had a lot to lose: my title, my position as a noble and as Princess Celestia’s student, you and even my family. I could have lost all my world but I decided to risk! Because my love for Spike was that strong. I never looked back and I wouldn’t have to because it was the best decision I could take in my life, though I knew it could lead me to a thousand misfortunes. But you? Do you really think you felt love? Do you think you have any idea of the meaning of that word?! If you did…”

Twilight felt a tingling in her horn and looked away as her eyes and horn lit up with magic.

“WHAT?! I’m very busy at this moment” She shouted angrily as if speaking to someone.

“D… Director, I’m sorry. It’s just we were waiting for you for the meeting, remember?” It was heard her secretary’s voice.

Instantaneous communication by psychic link. A spell patented by Twilight, of course.

“Postpone it or begin without me! I’ll go later” She answered.

“Some teachers are asking what you’ve gotten into” Marcy replied.

“Put me in contact with them”

There was a brief pause.

“Ready, Madame”

“IT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS” She yelled, breaking the link after.

“Where was I? Ah yes! How do you have the nerve to call love to what you feel or felt for Spike? Do you really call that love? Of course! You loved him so much you trampled on his heart all the times he asked you to have a date with him or when he asked you to be his marefriend. You appreciated him so much you never minded daydreaming about how your prince charming should be in front of him; or worse: Talking to him about your wonderful mates with whom you weren’t even five months! Face it, Rarity. You haven’t been able to find love, not because it has stayed with Spike. IT’S BECAUSE YOU CANNOT LOVE!” She shouted angry.

“STOP! STOP, PLEASE! STOP!” Rarity cried, throwing herself to the floor and covering her ears.

When she saw her friend on the floor cry, because of her, she tried to calm down. She filled her lungs with air and tried to calm her anger. Rarity didn’t move. She kept crying disconsolate.

“Rarity… I actually don’t know what to say. I don’t why you could want my forgiveness for hiding from me you were in love with Spike if of the two of us, the only one who has ended up hurt is you. Who you should apologize to, is those stallions you gave false hopes and illusion you then took from them. And as for Spike… We both know he’ll forgive you. He did it years ago. Why wouldn’t he do it again? But I… I love you as a sister, but you’re no longer welcome in my house. And I don’t want to see you close to Spike either… MY husband” She concluded, disappearing with a magical sphere.

Rarity stayed on the floor, crying and whining for hours. When she finally couldn’t cry anymore, she stood up and picked up the dishes with her magic. On her way to the kitchen, a cup fell down, breaking into pieces.

“Oops, I’m clumsy” Rarity muttered, picking up the pieces.

She got to the sink, where she placed the dishes, just to tear up again.

“What have I done? Now not only have I lost the love of my life, but also my best friend” She lamented.

“Twilight, I’m home” Spike said happily.

Peewee was the first one to receive him.

“Hello, my friend. Where’s my wife?”

The magical bird coughed. Anyone would think Spike was crazy for talking to a bird, but they understood each other very well.

“Annoyed? Why?”

Peewee coughed a little more.

“Was she like that when she arrived? Well, at least it’s not for something you and I did” Spike joked.

“Thank you, my friend. I’ll see what’s happening and then I’ll give you dinner” Spike said, walking to the observatory of the house.

“Twilight, are you here?” He asked, poking his head inside the big room where there was a huge telescope and several models of the solar system, maps of the stars and constellations, and of course, dozens of books.

“Hello, honey” Twilight muttered, sitting on one of the couches without much enthusiasm.

“Is there anything wrong, my queen?”

“More or less”

“What is it about?”

“It’s about Rarity”

“Did you have… an argument?” He asked.

“No, we only… Spoke about things”

“What kind of things?”

Twilight looked at his husband with a sad expression.

“I’d better explain it to you”

Later, a dumbfounded Spike and a very annoyed Twilight had finished reviewing the events of the evening. The moonlight already filtered through the opening in the ceiling for the big telescope.

“Don’t you… Don’t you think you were a little rude with her?” Spike said.

“And why shouldn’t I?! After all she did to you, after how she played with your feelings. How dare she play the victim?!” She said with indignation.

“And she said all you gave me should have been hers, which she rejected even when you offered it to her hundreds of times. She never had the courage to open her mouth and tell you what she felt when she realized. She’s a hypocrite with no right to complain!”

“Twilight, you must calm down. You’re not like that” Spike said calmly.

“But Rarity… She doesn’t deserve…!”

“Rarity is my friend. She’s your friend. And though this situation doesn’t make me happier than you, we can’t leave her like that”

“And why not?”

“Because she looked for you to give the matter a solution and save your friendship, but in your anger you rejected that chance” He explained calmly.

Twilight let her husband’s words sound in her head. And though she was and probably would still be angry with her friend for more time, she knew it was true. Twi had only made things get worse.

“She brought this on herself”

“Maybe, but she’s our friend. We can’t leave her like that”

“Tell me why!” She shouted.

“You were always honest, hardworking, generous and you never asked her for anything in return. She was fool because she never realized how fortunate she was to have you by her side. And why did she reject you? Because you were neither rich nor influential nor powerful nor… Whatever. And of course, because you were a dragon. Her heart accepted you, but her superficial and materialistic mind didn’t stop protesting and…”

“Twilight, enough!” Spike yelled.

Twilight instantly fell silent while looking at her husband surprised with drooping ears. She felt offended.

“Now I have a reason to be angry with Rarity” he said, getting closer to his wife to hug her lovingly.

“This is the first time I shout at you since the incident with the manticore” He whispered at her ear.

Twilight returned the hug tightly and hid her face the in dragon's chest.

“And like that time, it’s my fault, isn’t it?”

Spike didn’t answer and simply stroked her mane.

“Let’s not turn Rarity’s sorrow into ours, my queen. This will change nothing between us. I only ask you to try to understand her. She isn’t like you or me. She was raised with ideas that sometimes it's more important what other people think than what you think of yourself. And unfortunately, she wasn’t born with a courage like yours either. Blame her for lying to us if you want, but don’t hate her for being afraid or having rejected me for those years. If she had accepted me, we would never have united this way” He explained warmly, taking her hooves with his claws.

Twilight smiled and kissed the dragon on his lips.

“Oh, honey. Each year I read more and more books, but it seems the one who gets wiser is you”

“I think you know what we must do”

“I… I don’t know if I’m ready to see her so soon” She confessed insecure.

“Very well. Then I’ll go alone”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m the cause of her suffering. Besides, we both know how melodramatic Rarity is. After your unfavorable encounter, she is able to mourn until become dehydrated” He said, walking to the door.

Twilight followed him, not very convinced.

“Twilight, if you don’t want me to go see Rarity, just tell me and I’ll stay here”

Twilight’s ears drooped and looked away.

“You know I wouldn’t do anything that could harm you” He said, rubbing her cheek with his claw.

“I know, Spike. It’s true, I’m not comfortable with you going alone to see her. But I’m not going to stop you. After all, this generosity of yours is one of the reasons I love you. So, go… I’m sure she needs you” She said, smiling.

Spike returned the smile and kissed her before leaving.

“I’ll come back soon”

Rarity was lying on her bed with a pink nightgown. She hadn’t stopped crying since Twilight left. Spike arrived at her house quickly and knocked the door. Rarity, in her distress, managed to hear the knock and stuck her head out the window.

“Spike?!” She shouted with widened eyes filled with joy.

“Rarity, I…”

“SPIKE!” The fashionista shouted happily and jumped out the window.

Spike, terrified of what might happen to her, didn’t hesitate to fly towards her, catching her before she hit the ground.

“Rarity, what’s wrong with…?” His lips couldn’t end the sentence, for the fashionista locked her lips with his.

It was a quick kiss and without much ceremony, but it lasted long enough so the dragon could feel the designer’s soft lips, as well was the scent of orange blossom and honey she always used.

“My beloved Spike! My knight, my prince in purple armor” She was delirious, embracing the dragon's neck.

“Rarity, what’s wrong with you?!” Spike shouted, already on the ground.

“Now Spike, fly. Take us far away. Take us far away where there’s no one to tell us what we do wrong and we don’t”

“What are you talking about, Rarity?”

“Come on, Spike. You know” She said, removing the stains of makeup made by her tears.

“Let’s fly together into the sunset. Into the infinite sky where we’ll find a beautiful land where we’ll be able to be together forever, as it always happens in my dreams” She said, rubbing her neck against the base of his neck.

Spike then understood what was happening.

“Rarity, this isn’t a dream. This is happening”

“What are you talking about, honey? If this wasn’t a dream, why else would you visit me right after my fight with Twilight and kiss me?” She said, getting close to his face for another kiss.

“If this was a dream, would you have those horrible stains of makeup?”

Rarity looked at her stained hooves with that blue shade, typical of the eye shadow she always used.

“Oh my goodness… Oh blessed Celestia! Spike, I’m sorry. I thought…” Her words stuck in her throat. She didn’t know what else to say.

“Rarity… Shall we come in, please?”

As Rarity hadn’t taken her keys when she jumped out the window, they both had to enter the house through the same window.

“I… I guess you know everything”

“No, I only know what Twilight told me” He answered seriously.

“Then…”

“I want your version of the story. And please, don’t hold anything back. I promise I won’t get mad with you”

Rarity took a deep breath.

“Very well, Spike… This is the story of how I fell in love with you”

A couple of hours and two tissue boxes after, Rarity had finished her story. She was still whimpering by her sorrow in the dragon’s arms with her head resting on his chest, wishing as strongly as she could to be able to stay like that forever.

“And well… That’s the story” She concluded.

“You’ve suffered so much”

“I deserved it for all the suffering I caused you”

Spike remained silent.

“Will you be able to forgive me?”

“You know I already have” He answered, kissing her on her forehead.

Rarity enjoyed the feel of the dragon’s lips just for new tears to escape her eyes.

“I was so stupid… I’ve been so stupid… You were the one, you always were. But I was too blind and scared to realize. And now in moments like this when you couldn’t be closer to me, you’re so out of my reach…”

“Rarity, don’t beat yourself. Let it go. It’s time for you to let those ideas go. It’s time for you to let me go. Love is out there, waiting for you to find it” He spoke to her sweetly.

“I’ve looked for it for a long time, Spike. It’s useless for me. Twilight is right. My actual problem is I can’t love” She lamented, very distressed.

“Don’t say that, Rarity. I’m sure Twilight didn’t mean say that. She spoke without thinking, as she always does when she flies off the handle. You know her”

“But then why have I not been able to find my special somepony?”

“Maybe it’s time for you to find it in a different place”

There was another moment of silence.

“Maybe that’s the best, but I don’t think it’s possible. Not just like that”

“Why not?”

“Because before I can carry on, I have to free myself from you, but I can’t. I’ve been your slave for years, Spike. You can’t simply tell me I’m free like that”

Spike was confused, as well as full of pity for the unicorn in his arms, who once was overflowing with self-confidence.

“And how could I free you, Rarity?” He dared to ask.

Rarity bit her lower lip and looked up at Spike.

“Giving me what I have dreamt of for all these years…”

Spike was waiting for that something patiently, with a very bad feeling. An almost certainty he wasn’t going to like what would happen.

“Spike… I beg you. Make me free. Make love to me”

Spike’s internal fire felt cold. His blood felt thick and his lungs heavy. He had never regretted so much to be right.

“Spike, please. Don’t hate me. I’m sorry. I know it was stupid. You don’t have to do it. This is my problem. You’ve suffered enough because of me” She apologized frenetically.

Spike tried to regain his speech until a third voice brought him out of his trance and Rarity of her chain of apologies.

“You should do it” Said a very well-known voice at the door of the room.

“Twilight!” Rarity shouted scared.

“This isn’t… We aren’t… Don’t be angry with Spike! It’s all my fault!”

“Enough, Rarity. I know what happens and I think you’re right” She said serenely.

“You what?” Spike asked.

“You must… Have sex with her” She said, looking away.

Spike separated from Rarity and walked towards his wife, guiding her to the door so they both could leave the room.

“Excuse us a moment” He said while looking at Rarity before closing the door.

She only babbled an ‘alright’. As soon as he closed the door, Twilight hugged him.

“I’m sorry, my love. I knew you would never betray me, but you were taking too long and I began to make ideas. Soon I was fearing the worst and I came to see what was happening. And when I used my x-ray vision and I saw you two were in Rarity’s bedroom…” Twilight said, very nervous and sad.

“Don’t be sorry. I understand you. But why the hell did you say I should have sex with her?” Spike said, breaking the embrace.

“Spike, for better or worse, Rarity has fantasized about you for at least the last decade. Don’t you understand? She chose all those stallions because there was something about them that reminded her of you. It has always been you. If you want to free her and allow her to end this chapter of her life and to carry on… You have to give her at least one taste of what she was always looking for. You must give yourself to her at least once. Then she’ll be able to be free” Twilight said.

“It’s crazy! Have you forgotten that you are the one I love? That you are my wife?” He answered, almost scolding her.

“No, and I’m honored you’re so loyal. But for Rarity’s sake, this is something you must do”

“And what about you? What about us? How… Even if you give me permission, this is infidelity”

“Do you love her more than me?”

“DON’T BE A FOOL!”

Instead of getting offended, she smiled and hugged her husband again, hiding her face in his chest.

“Then it’s not infidelity. Spike, listen to me. It’s true, you swore loyalty to me and just me. But this is something I’m allowing you to do. Something I know it won’t spoil our marriage because compared to me, it will mean nothing. You know I love you, though maybe you don’t know how big that love really is. But I love Rarity too and I want her to be happy. If you’re the only one who can give her that happiness, I’ll accept that this time… Just this time…” Her voice became brittle, until she could no longer talk.

Spike took her by her chin and made her rise her head.

“Besides… It will mean nothing to you, right?” twilight asked weakly.

Spike sighed heavily.

“Twilight… Rarity is my best friend. A friend I once was in love with. You can’t ask me to have sex with her and to mean nothing to me. But above all things you can’t ask me to betray you”

“You won’t, Spike. Please, I just want things to be like before. I want we all to be at peace and to carry on”

“How are things going to be like before after I cheat on you?!”

There was a short silence, though to both the lovers it seemed an eternity.

“I love you, Spike. And I have blind faith in you. I don’t want to lose my best friend, let alone my beloved husband. I know things will be like before because we both will find the way, just as we’ve always done in this relationship. But I won’t force you to do anything. In fact, I’ll be happier if you decide not to do it with her. But for the sake of our friendship and especially for Rarity’s future… Do what you think best”

Twilight separated from him and tenderly kissed him on his cheek.

“Goodbye, my love. I’ll be waiting for you at home” She moved away a little and her horn started shining.

“Doh… Don’t take too long” She said with a forced smile before leaving.

Spike entered the bedroom again. Rarity was waiting for him patiently on her bed with an expression of enormous anxiety and fear. Fear to be rejected, fear to be alone in her time of her biggest need, afraid that the events that had just happened and could happen could destroy her relation with her best friends. But when she saw the dragon enter again and walk to where she was, Rarity smiled and jumped into the arms of the dragon with a smile of joy.

“Spike, there’s nothing I want more than you making me yours right now. But I don’t want and I will never want to ruin your marriage or force you do something you don’t want” Rarity said, very anguished.

“My wife is the one who’s told me I should do this” Spike replied coldly.

“But what about you? What do you think?”

Spike had only had sex with his wife. She was the only one he needed and could ask for. But now, in front of that beautiful and beloved friend, that divine creature of whom he had many times dreamt of doing what she now desperately asked him to do… He wished to make love to her, but his head was protesting. He had never been self-conscious in his life.

“Spike…”

Spike closed his eyes. He got his face closer to the fashionista’s and kissed her as softly and lovingly as he could. Rarity froze for a moment before melting completely in the kiss of the dragon, who had to take her with both his claws to prevent her from falling to the floor. The both gave themselves to the storm of flavors and sensations they both had dreamt of so many times years ago. And for a brief time, there was no guilt. There were no laws. There was no fear or prejudice. Just love. The love they both felt for each other and probably would feel forever.

They separated with a trickle of saliva connecting their mouths and their eyes met. Rarity was the first one to speak.

“Spike… Take me. Please, take me and let me be free. I beg you”

Spike didn’t answer. He took her face with his claws and gave her another kiss.

Twilight was sitting on the rear balcony of her house and looking the garden and the sunset. Of the millions of questions that were in her head, she wondered if she really would have to sleep alone that night. A thing that nearly never had any importance in her mind even when, at this moment, her husband was probably making love to her best friend.

To her surprise, the door opened and her husband came in. Twilight looked at him surprised before standing up very happy to receive him, but something stopped her before getting where he was and looked away.

“I though you said this wouldn’t affect our relationship” Spike said.

“Saying it is easier than doing it, I suppose” She said, still not looking at him.

“If it makes you feel better… Nothing happened” Spike said.

Twilight raised her ears and her head with widened eyes shining with enthusiasm.

“Really?”

“Well… We kissed and caressed each other, but I couldn’t take her. I simply couldn’t” He said, looking away.

“But then… What will happen with…”

“She’s going to be ok. We talked a lot. Everything will be ok. Though we agreed to keep our distance a while and let the waters calm down. You understand” He joked.

Twilight smiled and finally got closer to her husband to hug him. They stayed like that for a while, covered by the sunlight.

“Thank you, Spike”

“I may love many ponies, Twi. I love Celestia, Luna, Zecora and our invaluable friends. But you are my only wife, my queen, my goddess. No one will taste my love as you do”

Twilight smiled touched and remained silent until she smiled blinked seductively.

“Show me, my knight. Show your queen how much you love her”

Spike smiled. He took her with his claws in a marriage pose.

“Immediately, my queen” He said, going to the bedroom.
